New Ultrasonic Technology Can Show Previously Hidden Cracks

Reuters - Innovations Video Online (Feb. 24, 2015) — A new technological development from engineers at Bristol University in the UK say they&apos;ve developed a way to use ultrasonic nonlinear imaging techniques to find cracks and structural weakness in materials used in things like aeroplanes and bridges, which previously could not have been found. They say that could mean things are replaced on time and not overused. Joel Flynn listens in.
